First Solar: What a Long Strange Trip..... (FSLR)

King of the Insider Sellers, Michael Ahern, former CEO of FSLR, current interim CEO, was able
to bail on shares worth $350 Million just between February 2010 and
August of 2011.
This brought his total take to $740,609,359.

Mr. Ahern never bought a share of FSLR.

That may be some sort of record.

Total insider trading in FSLR since the IPO:
Purchases $1,895,285
Sales $3,113,597,910

That may also be a record.

Mr. Ahern remains Chairman and chief lobbyist for FSLR

Splits:
none

There was a reason for the choice of the first winner of the Climateer "Our Hero" award back in April 2007:

The 26th Secretary of War, the Democrat and Republican (!) Senator from Pennsylvania, Simon Cameron:

Our Hero

"The honest politician is one who when he is bought, will stay bought."
